Delicious refreshments were served, and all the guests regretted when the hour for parting rolled around. A few weeks ago the following item ap? peared in the "All Sorts of Paragraph" column of the Intelligences. The only half-cent, probably, which was ever coined was a piece now in possession of Jesse Rogers, of Newberry, Mass. It ia an old Massachusetts coin, presumably cast as an experiment " Dr. F. L. Narrainore, of this city, read the paragraph, and the other day .he showed ua a half-cent coin, dated 1809, which was Issued by the Na? tional Government. He says he found it when a boy while walking along a public road near his native home, Rochester, N. Y. There are very few of these half-cent coins, and the Doctor appreciates his very highly. Mr. J. S. Fowler, as is well known, is one of Anderson's most progressive citi? zens, and is doing an extensive business in handling horses, mules, vehicles of all sorts, and harness. Every year his busi? ness territory is enlarging, and hardly, a week passes that he does not get an order from Greenville, Abbeville, Greenwood, S9neca and other towns and villages in? tervening. Recently he has shipped a fine phaeton to Lenoir, N. C, two buggies and i two sets of harness to White Plains,1 Tenn., a buggy and a set of fiue harness to Roanoke, A a., and a set of fine harness to Columbus, Oblo. This is in keeping with what we have always told you, gen? tle reader, that Anderson's business men can sell you anything cheaper than you can buy it anywhere. . The Greenville News, of last Tburadav, says: "W. R. Diliingbam, a prominent aud popular citizen of Anderson, and Miss Lulie White, youngest danghter of Capt. W. R. White, were married last night in the Buncombe street Methodist Church, tbe Rev. John O. Wilson officiat? ing. The Church was beautifully decora? ted for the occasion and was crowded be? yond the doors, many of the friends of the bride who were unable to find even stand? ing room inside being compelled to re? main in the yard. It was a very anima? ted and charming scene when the bridal party entered. The attendants were J. G. Brace, of Anderson, with Miss Gertrude Bdyt; R. C. Laughlin, of Anderson, and Miss Sarah Smith ; G. W. Evans and Miss B attle Burgiss ; W. R. Osborne and Miss Fannie Wright; R. L. Ambler and Misb Carrie Miller; D. C. Durham and Miss Lavlna Rowley. The ushers were Maj. W. A. Hunt, John Orr, Brandon Patton and M. H. Fin lay. The bride wore a white gown without a train. The brides? maids were all In white and tbe grooms? men and ushers wore evening dress. Af? ter the ceremony a delightful reception was given the bride and groom \ud the attendants and relatives and near friends of the family at the residence of the bride's brother-in-law, Dr. W. E. Wright. Mr. and Mrs. Dilltngham will leave this morn? ing for Anderson which will be their fu? ture borne. Keowce Courier: "When Hon. James L. Orr, Speaker of the House of Represen? tatives ot the United States, was spending ?. Rummer at the White Sulphur Springs in Virginia, he chanced one day to see Rev. Dr. White, an eminent minister afflicted with lameness, walk across the lawn. Approaching him aud extending his hand, "Tbis is Dr. "White, I believe," he said. "I knew you by your lameness ; you were Chaplain at the University of Virginia fiftten yours ngo when I was a student there " Dr. White said, "I am sorry my lameness made a greater impression upon you than my preaching." Mr. Orr re? joined: "Dr. White, the very highest compliment that can be paid to a minister of tlie Gaupel is to suy that he is known beittr by his walk than bis conversation." Henry MeElwee, a negro boy about 10 yp?rs r?f ntie, broke Into Mr. C. M. Finley's Itcnw in Kork Mills Township a few days Bco. Tim bouse was closed, the blinds shut and bad the appearance of no one being at home, but Mrs. Fiulev was there and in bt-cl, sho not being weil. Tbe ue ero opened the blinds und entered through n window hi the L of the house. Mrs. Finlf.v heard htm walking, and, of course, I whs frightened. She concluded to watch j the road nnd see if nbe could not see some person It was not long before a neigh? bor camo by. She called him. and, as he entered the house, the house breaker es? caped from the back door, but he was seen and identified as be ran off. A war? rant was issued for his arrest, but he had not been found when our informant gav? ns this information. The negro has a bad reputation, and tbe people in other neigh? borhoods should bo on the look out for him. The Maoon (Ga.) Telegraph piys the following cimpliment to Miss Badger, who recently visited Anderson : "The pu? pils of the Georgia-Alabama Business Col? lege and their guests who assembled in the college hall last evening have never bad an opportunity to onjoy a more delightful literary treat than that accorded them by tbe several finished readings by Macon's charming elocutionist, Miss Daisy Badger. Attired in an exquisite evening toilet, which emphasized in tbe highest degree her rare beauty of face and figure, she was a vision of loveliness to entrance every be? holder. In presenting Miss Badger to those assembled, Professor Martin took occasion to pay ber the following chaste and beautiful compliment: The college is honored this evening by the presence of one so richly dowered as to suggest na? ture's queen?a queen who has so fully utilized tbe advantages of liberal educa? tion that Culture has placed upon ber beauteous brow the crown of regnant roy? alty, while to her hand Art has committed tbe sceptre of dominion.' Two readings were gtren, which were received with raptuous manifestations of appreciation, full? commensurate with their high artis? tic merit." Auother Big Cotton Mill. The Greenville Ncivs of last Saturday contained the following interesting infor? mation : "The Pelzer Manufacturing Company has decided to again increase its capital stock and add to the capacity of its mills on the Ealuda river, sixteen miles below Greenville. "Work will be bc-gun without delay. Tbe new mill will be near Pelzer and will contain about 40,000 epindles. It will cost in tbe neighborhood of $500,000 but the new stock to be issued will be only $100,000 and will make the capital of tbe Company a round million. "The addition will make the Pelzer the largest cotton manufacturing company in the South and one of tbe largest in tbe ooiintry. The Company began work in 1S?<3 with 10,000 spindles. It has grown steadily and is now operating 52.000. The addition will give it 1)2,000spindles, which will be over 30,000 more than tbe largest mill in the South now has. "The Polz-r Company now employs 1 400 people and uses 25,000 bales of cot? ton. With the addition it will employ an additional fo:ce of 1,100 hands and will use ?0.000 more bales of cotton, giving it a total roll of 2 500 bands and a total capac ity of 45,000 tales of cotton a year. The increase will give Pelzer a population close to 10,000 aud will make it probably a larger town than Spartanburg or Ander? son und close to Greenville. "Tbe new mill will bo, with the others, under tbe direct management of President E. A. Smyth, under whoso control the Company's plant has made its wonderful growth and under whose work one of tbe largest and most flourishing towns in the State has iu eleveu years grown from an old field and a sboal." Needle's Newell News Revs. E H Webster, of Spartanburg. and J. O. Johnson, of Greenville, disciples of the religious sect known as the Seventh Day Advonti sis, are now conducting a se? ries of meetings in tbis Township. Their meetings are held in a tent in Mr. J. W. Rosamond's pasture and everybody is In? vited to attend. They have been laboring in this part of tbe vineyard now for near two months, and will, it seems, continue indefinitely. Announcements for this week were mode Sunday night as follows: "Preaching here every other niglit this week?Tuesday night, Thursday night and Saturday night; also Sunday night. San day school at 10 o'clock Sabbath (Satur? day) morning, and preaching at the usual boor." Farmers are well up with their work. Business holds up pretty well in spite of the so called "dull season." Vegetables and frying chickens are get? ting in at last Come on, candidates ! Tbe wheat crop through here is off con? siderable. Qa many farms there will not be more than a third of a crop. Some one has suggested that we have a big pic nie at Mountain Springs ibis sum? mer. Hope they will get it up, we like pic nics. Tbey have on tap at tbe Variety Store a couple of bnrrels of the most delicious cider you ever saw?one "cherry" and one "peach." Try it. It is now about time for tbe candidates who intend to show up in tbe County race to begin to announce themselves. "Show up," or you'll get left, sure. The boys tell a good one on-, (we will withhold his name tbis time, afraid be might lick us, for we are going to jot down the story exactly as it happened ) One night last week he attended services at the Seventh Day Adventist tont, and you know they believe in the keeping of tbe seventh day (Saturday) as the Sabbath and in the near approach of the second coming of Christ. VVell, it seems that on this particular night tbe disciples preached this doctrine for all it was worth. Any? way tbey got tbe subject of this item worked up to a pitch, at which he was easily excited. As be wended bis way homeward through tbe darkness be gave the discourse to which ho had listened se? rious consideration. At last he reaches heme, and, as he turns in at the gate, a miserable screetcb owl, "perched in a high tree, rends the air with his indescribable voice." He can't stand screetcb owls? never could?so be hunts for a rock. A good, heavy one he finds, and, without ceremony, lets fly at the owl. The rock rebounds and comes down upon tbe house like a thousand brick. The owl, however, stuck to his limb and kept up bis part of the program, and, in hunting more rocks, to rout him with our man overturned Beveral flower stands and aroused, a flock of geese, which joined the owl without in? vitation. The yard dog opened up: about . this time he found a pile of rocks, and just there is where tbe fun commenced. He had got everything on tbe place aroused and clear forgot what it was that be was going to throw at. So be just commenced raining the rocks around in every direc? tion, About this time a cow down in the lot began to bawl and the words of tbe Adventist, "The harvest is ripe," flashed across his mind. Forgetting that it was he himself who had kicked up tbe noise that was now so terrific, and mistaking the sound that came from the cow lot for a blast from Gabriel's trumpet, he "went beside himself," and came near alarming tbe entire settlement. The boys also add that next morning bis front yard looked like it bad been used for a cyclone and lightning depository. Our note book, Messrs. Editors, is flush with news items, but we don't feel like copying them off. Went to hear the Ad ventists preach to-night, and it is now after 1 o'clock, and we are tired and sleepy. Please attribute this marked dif? ference in our chirography to nervousness, caused by loss of sleep, and tell the boys to look for us again next week. Ned Needle. Wllliamstou Kerne. The excursion to Charleston last Tues? day, run by Messrs. L. P. Smith and T. H. Smith, was a grand success. The steam? boat excursion, 25 miles around the har? bor, last Thursday morning, run by tbe Messrs. Smiths, was also a most enjoyable occasion. Miss Lillian Baker, a most beautiful and accomplished young lady of Atlanta, Ga., is here visiting Misses Birdie and Andrena Anderson. Mrs. C. C. Simpson, of Anderson, is here visiting her parents. Jeter H. $5.00 Reward. Lost, on the Court House Square Tues? day morning a Diamond Stone, about the size of a buckshot. The above reward will be paid to the finder by returning it to W. R. Hubbard's Jewelry Store. Go to Webb & Webb's and get the Brede Steam Bread?25 tickets for $1, II.ong Branch Items. Our trip tn the "City by the Sea" was a very ploasaut one, although wo were very much crowded both going nnd com? ing. Wo started with eight cars nnd took on another one at Columbia. The crowd was estimatPd at about six hun? dred passengers. AVo had the pleasure of viewing a portion of this great world that we had nover seen before and some that wo don't caro to see any more. Crops between hero and Columbia are something like our's?very sorry. We saw a great deal of cotton not hoed out the first time. Then wo saw some that was looking very well, considering the cold and dry weather. We reached Col? umbia awhile before night, and then tak? ing the Atlantic Coast Line we had a view nfthe country from thoir to Sum tor, when dark came upon us. For some twonty-five miles below Columbia the land and crops reminded mo very much of our country here, tfce. For somo ten or fifteen miles this side of Sumterwe saw some of tbe finest cotton I think I ever saw for this season of the year, and ' here dark camo upon us, and we went on our way to the City. We reached Char? leston at 10.40 and there we met our clever friend Mr. Gooding, .whom we had written to meet us at the depot. He carried us safely to the hotel where we were well cared for. Next day we started out bright and early and the first place was tbe market house, which is a grand sight to many of us who had never seen any? thing of the kind before. At 10 o'clock we took the steamboat for Sullivan's Island, where we spent a few pleasant hours gathering shells and watching the rolling waves on the groat water that we had never seen before. While on the Island we went to Fort Moultrie. There were many old soldiers there viowing the old relics who snrved their country in the years 18G1?'U2. They said that the Fort looked perfectly natural. I wasn't iu Charleston during the war. I was too young during tbe first two years, and the last two I was still too young. After spending a few pleasant hours on the Island, we returned to the City and went to the Magnolia Cemetery, which is beautifully decorated with ilowers and mossos and beautiful lakes and mounds. After passing through the Cemetery I left my chum and boarded a streetcar for the Ashley Poo Phosphate works, which is also a grand sight to any one who never saw anything of the kind? and I never bad before. Next day we visited the City Museum. There we saw animals of all kinds, fowls of all kinds, also fish, snakes, frogs, &c. Then we went to St. Michael's Church, where we saw the oldest organ in the State (so said.) We also spent a few pleasant hours in the Park. Charleston is a large City, but is old, and many of the build? ings are dilapidated. We would have enjoyed our trip much better if we had some water from home to drink. 1 can't stand tbe Charleston water. I hear peo? ple talking about having prohibition in South Carolina. It is a mistake, Char? leston nas just abou t-as many saloons as she has dry good stores. We left the City at 4 o'clock in the afternoon Thurs? day evening for home. We had a view of the country from Charleston to Sum ter, where night camo on us as we wont down, thus giving us a day-light view of the country from there to Charleston. For some 25 or 30 miles this side of Char? leston crops are no good, but some 15 miles the other side of Sumter to Sumter they are extra good. They had a splen? did rain there on the Oth of June. I was told while in Charleston that it had not rained any there since February, that is anything like a season. Our next trip is to Asheviile, yes, all go again. I am like the old man was by getting drunk. If I get forgiveness for this trip I am going to go back again The health of this community is very good at this writing. Mr. L. A. Williams had the mis'ortune of losing a fine young horse, which d'ei last Saturday with what was supposed to i have been blind staggers. Several of our young people attended preaching at Mount Bethel lost Sunday. Mr. ana Mrs. L. A. Williams attended i preaching at Shady Grove Sunday last. We are needing rain very bad. Gar- 1 dens and up-land corn is suffering. : We are laying by corn and sowing peas. I notice in last week's Lyteeliqencer wbero one of the correspondents wants the correspondents of the Intelligen? cer to have a meeting this summer. He must be a single fellow and wants a pic nie. I am certain there would be no en? joyment for a crowd of us old men to meet and converse with each other. As for hearing each other's name I can tell '< you mine._Same Me. Items from Lebanon. How warm! Isn't it hot? Don't you wish it would ralu ? How dusty ! These are some of the many expressions we hear on every side, and verily, it is dry and dusty around here, but this morning , looks a little like we are going to have a j change in the weather. I reckon all the farmers are ready and anxious for a good gentle rain, for all vegetation is in want of more moisturo. "General Green" has been conquered for the present, and farmers are enjoying un unusually easy time for June. Wheat and oats are being harvested and prove to be very sorry, especially wheat. Some oats very good. Blackberries are fast ripening, and then there will be a race for the black? berry patch, for they will form a large amount of the fruit to bo used this year. Miss Bobbie Wake a eld, who has been attending tbe Girls' High School at An? derson, has returned homo to spend vacation. We are glad to have her with us again, Mr. Durham, of Jackson County, Ala., is visiting the family of Mr. John Wyatt j Kay. He likes South Carolina very j much, i Our clever, genial, handsome young friend, W. J. Patterson, of Uuion, paid a flying visit to his father's. A host of friends were glad to grasp his hand in warm welcome on Sunday last at Leba? non. He savs he has not been sick In nearly four years, and consequently is looking well. Next time you come, Joe, stay with us a little longer. A singing was held at Mr. W. W. Smith's on Sunday p. m? and was enjoy? ed by all present. One person said it was better than a Singing Convention, but bis best girl was present and aided in mak? ing the music, so of course he enjoy? ed himself better than at the Convention. Mrs. W. W. Smith is having chills and is hardly able to be up. We hope to see her restored to her usual health soon. Last Saturday and Sunday were our usual meeting days, and as is geneially the case, our beloved pastor, Rev. W. B. Hawkins, presented some solid truths to us for meditation. On Sunday the pul? pit was filled by Rev. Mr. Freeman, pas? tor of the Pendleton Baptist Church, and our pastor filled his appointment. Rev. Mr. Freeman is a most worthy young man, and delivered a flno sermon, being Erecise and to the point. Wo predict for im a brilliant future in tbe Master's vineyard. We understand that on next second Saturday and Sunday tbe deacons recently elected will be ordained, also Mr. W. P. Holland will be ordained to the ministry._Hopeful. EobcrtB News, We are needing rain very badly now. Corn is twisting up into shoe-strings, and late spring oats are drying up and will be almost a failure. Cotton would be better off if it bad a season, but it is getting over the effects of the oold spell and is growing a little. It's a fine time to kill grass.

The farmers are all up with their work. Corn and cotton is looking very well for the reasons. Small grain is reported to be very sorry. Miss Lonise Fant, of Anderson, has been spending a wbilo with ber cousin, Miss Lizzie Smith. Miss Allie Major, who attended the Baptist Convention, has returned home. She reports a very pleasant visit. A goodly number went on the excur? sion to Charleston, and all report an en? joyable trip. Bev. Mr. Osborne and wife have re? turned from Walhalla, where they have been visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Haskell Kay has been suffering for the past two or three weeks with some? thing like rheumatism in his left arm, but is improving slowly. Maj. J. N. Vandiver has returned home from Virginia, where he went to visit the old battlefield which he fought on during the late war. He also spent a while in the city of Washington. He advises all who can go to Washington to go; that they will never regret it. Our 8unday School at this place is in a very flourishing condition, but still there are others who could attend who do not. Mr. Clarence Elgin, while hauling wheat from tbe field on Saturday, 9th inst., was hurt very badly by being thrown from a load of wheat and one of the front wheels running over his head, bruising it up very badly. But we are truly glad to say ho is not dangerously hurt. We noticed the pleasant faca of Mr. Mitchell and Miss Martin, of Hopewell, out at Sunday School on last Sunday. There was a Children's Missionary So? ciety organized here last Sunday. WoonwAHn. Liberty Items. akJTjj Messrs. Morgan & McGee sounded tbe whistle and told us h w much wheat we made last week. Mrs. J. L. Wiles is quite sick at this writing. John Will Brown, who has been sick several days, is better. Wish for them a speedy recovery. Our people think they see signs of an? other wedding at an early date. It Is a widower this time, and he lives on the river. His visits are becoming very fre? quent. Married, on the 5th inst., at the resi? dence of the bride's father, by Rev. C. Prevriey, Miss Minnie McGee and Mr. Hadden Burriss. Tbe happy couple left immediately after tbe ceremony for Charleston. For the benefit of Mr. Ergo I will say there is a school house on the S. V. R. R. about half way between Cooks and Barnes that was built about 10 months ago, the name of which is Liberty. Several young men from Moffattsville are well acquaint? ed with the whereabouts of the place. Possibly you have called there yourself. Admitting this fact,I can understand how, after the object of tbese visits have left us, you would deny all knowledge of such a place as Liberty, and yet with all your ignorance and weakness you can imagine that because a school boy has attempted to write a few items that he is seeking pro? motion, and because be is in your Town? ship you would drive him from the field. So much for your imaginations. Let me suggest that you take a few feathers from the wings'of your imagination, put them in the tail of your judgment, and the next time you feel disposed to abuse us, remem? ber that we, as a community, have re? ceived Light and Liderty. Hurricane Creek Items, My school teacher use to say, when one pupil would get through "savin' his les? son," come next! So 1 say "now, come next 1 The lost two had their lesson all right, and if tbe others will rattle it off like they did, we will soon get through and have ''recoss," Cotton has advanced about ten points in the last few days, but corn has not done so well, although it keeps growing a little. This "great adviser" advises that farmers do not stop cultivating their crops because they have been plowed since tbe rain, "but just keep right on cul? tivating the same as you would it it was raining regular eyery week or two, It will do your corn and cotton good to stir the dirt around it every two weeks whether it gets grassy or not. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ballentine and their two twin daughters, Misses Lena and Lais, of Central, were visiting the for? mer's Bister, Mrs. W. F. Lee, on last Saturday, Mr. Ballentine reports crops as being not quite up to the average for thiB time of year, and some along the road between here and Central ho says have not been "worked out" yet since the rain, and are needing work about as bad as rain. John says he can corneas near celling when it is a going to rain as tbe weather bureau can?they can tell the day before and he can tell the day after. So he says they are just a day apart. The wheat is about all harvested in this section, and our spring oats are now on us and tbey are fairly good, but wheat is light, The threshers started out yes? terday (Monday) morning on their rounds, but they will not pay much this year?flour is so chop and the wheat crop light so that it will push them to make expenses, Nevertheless tbis "great adviser" advises the farmers to sow wheat again next fall?a little more than usual, if any difference. It may bo a good wheat year next year. Jeff King says bo don't know what the issue will be in tbe campajgn this year for says he :'the dispensary is dead?diod suddenly?of heart failure I reckon." He says be thinks its death was caused from too much whiskey, like a great many men who die from heart failure? it is caused by taking too much whiskey. I hope prohibition will prevail yet not? withstanding the opposition. As news is scarce and we looking for the thresher and are busy we will stop and try and finish next time.
